The Phillips is a unique "tarsal brogue" oxford, so called because of the addition of the leather strap on top of the tarsal bones of the foot, between the lacing and the toe cap. Thepattern of this oxford makesfor a bold and uncommon shoe, and thankfully "bold"workswonderfully with tailoring! This is certainly not a classic business style, but is nevertheless a great way to addedge into an outfit while still looking your best.

The antique crust calf / dark brown suedepairdepicted here is a charming "reverse spectator" style. It leans towards the lighter color palettes of classic brown/white spectators, but thedeep brown suede keeps this style more wearable as a year-round option. Style it as you would any mid-brown shoe, while keeping in mind this has a lot more edge than your standard oxford!
